Gordon McMillan installer and Python 2.4

[Svein Brekke]

Hi.

Thank you Gordon McMillan for a very nice freeze tool for python.
(I use it on Windows XP SP2 for creating a single-file self-extracting
wxPython based installation script for a non-python application.)

Recently I upgraded to python 2.4, and on my system any .exe file
generated by the installer crashes immediately after startup. I use
version 6a2 of the installer.

The following steps provokes the crash:
1) Make a file hello.py with contents "print 'hello world'"
2) python c:/installer/Configure.py
3) python c:/installer/Makespec.py --onefile hello.py
4) python c:/installer/Build.py hello.spec
5) hello.exe

Catching the crash in Visual Studio 2003, gives the following message:
Unhandled exception at 0x7c918fea in run.exe: 0xC0000005: Access
violation writing location 0x00000010.

The call stack is quite long, but starts with
 	ntdll.dll!7c918fea() 	
 	python24.dll!1e062ac4() 	
 	MSVCR71.dll!_getptd()  Line 319	C
 	MSVCR71.dll!isalpha(int c=58)  Line 48 + 0x5	C
 	python24.dll!1e06350d()


Has anyone else succeded in using McMillans installer on 2.4?
Thanks for any help.
